The same.By enlisting women for shorter terms as service
medics,MO's and drivers in non-combat oriented positions,and as
mechanics/technicians, we free up more of our male population for
training.
Any population can tolerate the loss of a large number of healthy
males because we are more biologically expendable.A single man can
have multiple children.In the event of the loss of a woman,the loss
is more critical as they are a more vital resource than man in the
nurturing of future population,able to give birth to only one
child, and as such should be protected and given a greater share of
resources and control.
As it is,the training is already reaching a baseline where we are
more paramilitary than military.Singaporeans are basically
organised militiamen more than military soldiers.
Physically and mentally can all be trained,but the root cause of
our weakening is lack of motivation,fighting spirit and political
problems.
